Also stunning for its inaccuracies, such as "Plan 9 will not run on a PCI bus",
"The only widely available version [of Plan 9] is for the PC" and a few others.
Actually reading some of the docs would have helped.

He also made the stunning observation to "not install Plan 9 on any machine
you use without full, complete backups."  I would think "any OS" would 
substitute nicely for "Plan 9" in this case.

Maybe he should have titled the article, "Help wanted, Plan9 a piece of junk!"

On the other hand, I enjoy that Plan 9 users constitute a bit of an elitist
clique.  Articles like this will help to keep it that way.
